We live in an unresting age. The |
man'll of human progress was never i
more rapii! than now. Science, ndti
e.ttioii and religion, hand in hand, are j
daily obtaining new triumphs over !
matter, ignorance and vice. With (
forces marshaled, they are aspiring !
1o and disciplining for Ihe conquest j
' of the nations. An exalted spirit j
p rvades all civilized countries to
excel in great accomplishments.—
As instances, America, by the ap
plication of wonderful mechanism,
guided by consummate engineering
skill, no sooner spans a deep, wide,
rapid river, with a bridge of magnifi
cent structure and immovable found
ations, than Europe, predicating up- j
on the success of the American on- !
terprise, talks of the apparently ini j
possible work of bridging the Eng- !
lish Channel. The American 1100- j
sac Tunnel, when completed, will j
only he surpassed by its great Ku- j
ropoau counterpart, Mont Ccnis.
"lie catalogue of comparative me- j
clianical and scientific wonders might
be indefinitely continued, but the at
tentive reader of current history
needs nut to be informed on this in
t resting topic.
It has been assumed by some that j
the spirit, of the prodigious enter- j
prise which distinguishes this age, I
with 11s, is traceable to the infusion
of foreign bloods, and which is im
proving by transmission. This may
or may not be true. We are dis
posed to admit, however, that worn
out, effete races are incapable of
great achievements. Indeed, the
fact of imbecility entirely contradicts
the idea of life ; it lather foreshad
ows the approach ol death.
We prefer to attribute it to th' 1
r/rni-s of American institutions.— j
• t uder their mgis every man is a free
m in. The right to accumulate is I
c.,courage 1. The increased value of
property, from any cause, is regard
ed as not only beneficial to the indi
vidual, but as inuring indirectly to,
general enhancement. An equal
opportunity is afforded all to become j
the architects of their own fortunes, |
coupled with the exalt ul privilege of
l- uing their own patents of nubility. •
And, as though enough could not be
done for the elevation of the race, it !
best ,ws upon the people all the im
munities of laws made f>r the pro-,
1 -ctiou of life, liberty and property, i
a i 1 mak ‘s our loftiest promotions ae
i 'ssible to the h tmblcst poor.
It is almost impossible that the
groat results, alluded to, could have
on inferior in magnitude, consid
ering the ample protection and in i
nificeiit patronage so unsparingly
bait to their accomplishment. A rich
• a!., and mountains, teeming with
I Id leu wealth, are the most inviting !
lici Is for a people who, instinctively,
are always ripe for higher develop
ments and greater discoveries.
It will be well for us if we cherish
and keep alive this mighty spirit.—- j
To this the rise and unparaleled j
growth of our country is due. X&- I
tipus, like individuals, are, in gener
al, the masters of their own destiny, j
History teaches that when national
dissolutions do occur, it is the inev- ,
itable effect of u departure from the
principles and conduct to which they
owed their rise and growth.
It is confidently asserted that there
is a wide-spread organization, com
posed of both ex-Coisfudevate and
United States soldiers, who mean to j
get posse sion<if Mexico, peaceably, i
if possible, if not, then forcibly.— I
General Joseph E. Johnston, late, of
the Confederate army , is named as
the chief of the organization, while
Generals Uosecrans and Logan, of
liie Union army, are sai 1 to sympa- j
tliise with it. It is claimed that j
many prominent Mexicans favor the j
scheme, and that even Juarez him
self might wink at it.

A Itcautitill Incident.
On a lienut ifal summer's <lay a clergy
man was called to preach in a town in In
diana, to a young Episcopal congregation.
At the close of his discourse lie addressed
uis young bearers in such words as these:
“Keani that the present life is a ] ppnra
iion for and has a tendency to eternity.
The present is linked to the future through
out creation, in the vegetable, in the ani
mal and in the moral world. As is the
seed, so is the fruit; as is tin* egg, so is tiie
fowl; as is the boy, so is the man; and as
the rational being in this world, so will he
be in the next; Dives estranged from God
here, is Dives estranged from God in the
next, and Enoch walking with God here,
is Enoch walking with Go.l ill a calm and
better world. I beseech you, live, then, for
a blessed eternity. Go to the worm that
you tread upon, and learn a lesson of wis
dom. The very eaterpiila-seeks the foo l
that fosters it for an-ioer ami similar state;
and more wisely tiian man, builds its own
sepulcre, from whence in time, by a kind
-if rcsarcetion, it comes forth in a new
creature lit ahmi I an angelic form. And
now that which crawled 'lies, and that
which fed on comparatively gross food,
sips the dew that revels in the rich pas
iires, im emblem of that paradise where
"ows the river of life and grows the tree'
of life. Could the caterpillar have been 1
diverted from its proper dement and mode j
of lib, if it ha 1 never attained the butter-j
"v's splendid form and lute, it had perish- ,
id a worthless worm. Consider her ways j
end be wise. Let it not be said that ye j
..re more negligent than worms, and that j
; our reason is less available than their in- |
tinct. As often as the butterfly Ilfs across I
■ our path, remember that it whispers in
ils flight, “Live for the future.' ”
With tins the preacher closed Ids dis- i
course, but to deepen tlre impression, a '
butterfly, directed by the Hand which j
guides the sun and an atom in its course. I
fluttered through tho e'crch, as if rommis- |
shined by heaven to repeat i lie exhortation.
There was neither speech nor language,
hut its voice was heard saving to the ga
zing audience, "Live for the Future.”
Ov it AprnoACittso Fun. —We are
pleased to note the many evidences of in
ti-rest shown for the success of our Agrhrsl- ’
turul Fair, which will be held on the litli,
18th, ltlth and 20th days of the prose:’.'.
month. A number of fanners have already
notified tho Secretary of thou inti..lion 1.
nave some very flue tl-x-lt on exhibit leu, j
including horses, entile, sheep an 1 swine, j
Many of our mechanics are also preparing I
articles of their skill and handiwork, to lie
shown at the fair. Agents and dealers, i
too, of agricultural and other useful mn- '
chincry, are getting ready for a display of
their respective implements and machines, j
The features of tiie race track promise to
be more interesting than ever before, as a
very large number of good, fast horses are
expected, while it is known that some very I
fast r..eers are already booked. The large j
premiums offered by the Society, and tiie j
general “outside interest'' taken by the i
people here, is sufficient inducement to at
tract the best horses in this and neighbor- -
ing States. The Ira k is a splendid one, I
and is now in the very best c 1 ■ "lion, in
fact better than ever ii has been before. |
Tiie fair grounds have !h en ictitt d and!
cleared up All the ferv’i-s atvl buildings j
1m re just been freshly while-washed, giv- j
ing the vast enclosure a bright, pleasing j
appearance, such as never beiiiie presented, j
With good weather we feel assured that
the Third Annual Fair will be the best
in the history of tiie Society, firing
oil your stock, your machines, vehicles,
manufactures, products, domestic handi
work —your wives, sons and daughters. I
relatives, friends, sweet-hearts and beaux,
und our word for it, there will lie no fair
in the State to equal our Fair.— Site*.
Grace Greenwood, writing from Denver,
says: “Nature did antelopes an ill turn
originally, in affixing to them a mark by
which they eau lie seen and ‘a bead drawn
on them’at a distance. It renders them
especially liable to attack in the rear,
which reminds us of f- little story. A i
,'uiall Coluiado boy, who had been ou‘
planting, ran into tiie house in a state of
great excitement, saying he had seen some
antelopes in a gulch near by. At bis en
treaty liis mother went out to look at them,
but nothing of the kind was to be found,
she became incredulous, and said at last:
•I don’t believe you saw any antelopes; it
must have been yout imagination, my
e-itil l!’ To t liis the little mountaineer indig
nantly responded : ‘Humph! I guess my
imagination isn't white behind.”
The Princess Mary of Holland is said to
be rive years the senior of her new hus
band, the Prince of Weid, to whom stie
brings a vast fortune as a compensation f r
her superior age. She had d- term!. -
ed to live and die au old maid,
until she met the. Prince, when she changed
her resolution in an instant. She is repu
ted to be an excellent musician and an ac
complished cook, and, what is more remar
kable, to have made her own wedding
cake.

Vr. Seward’s Wonderful Journey.
Yesterday tfie Hon. Win. 11. Rew
ard returned from his great trip
around the globe. This journey has
heen one id' the most remarkable ever
made, More than a year ago Mr.
.Seward, then nearly seventy years
of age and in leelde health, set out
from home to undertake it. He was
without official rank or public posi
tion of any sort—simply an Ameri
can citizen ; but as lie went west
ward round the world lie has heen
receive I and honored as heretofore
only sovereigns and princes have
heen received and honored.
I’he -privilege of an interview with
the Mikado, or Spiritual Emperor of
Japan, never before accorded to a
foreigner, was offered to the Ameri
can st.t small. lie visited Pekin,
and was there invited to an audience
with the Emperor of China. The
British Governor-General of India
entertained him with magnificent
Eastern hospitality, in Egypt the
Eliedive showed him every atten
tion possible, from the in uncut of
his arrival to that of his departure
from the country. And finally, be
fore starting for home, he was enter
tained at Paris by M. Thiers, the
President of the new Republic of
France.
History records no other snob tes
timonial to private worth as this.
Mr. Seward went abroad, not as the
Governor of the greatest State in
the American Union, not as Senator
of the United States, not as the
chief of the President's Cabinet, but
simply as a private individual. Yet
does anyone believe that there is an
official, high or low in the length
and bieu.l’.h tf the laud, who would
be greeted throughout the world
with the respect ami honor which
has been shown to Mr. Seward ?
Somehow the truth so well known
here, that he has solved the nation
of which lie was a citizen long, and
faithfully, and ably, lias come to the
oars of the rulers of many lands.
And so high does character stand
even in the estimation even of those
who administer monarchical govern* j
ments that they have manifested
toward a plain American citizen sen
tnu j.its of regard rarely expressed
in such a cordial and kindly manner,
iron to royalty itself.—Ah w Yon t- '■

The Baltimore American, of the j
■>th inst., with reference to compe-!
ting railway lines, says :
“Baltimore needs competing, or'
what is called parallel lines of rail
roads, more than any other city in
the Union, and it is for this reason,
and not on account of any ill feeling '
to existing roads, that we have fa- 1
vnrod and urged their construction
on all suitable occasions. \\ lien the |
Western Maryland is constructed to
Cumberland, Baltimore will be re
lioved of many of its present sour es i
ot grievance by a healthy enmpeti- t
tiou for way business ami freights, ;
and without it, as trade increases,
>-io evilj now complained of will
tea lily augment.”
Unhappy marriage is the tjuintes
sence of human bondage, it wounds 1
daiiv our fondest and sweetest im
pulses; it stifles an I buries our ho
liest and dearest aiicctiuus, at d
writes over the tomb thereof, “No
hope.” It iinhilters ils victim with'
the thought that lost forever to his
or her life is the glory of a great
love, closed forever to him or her the !
portal of a happy home; that fouti- j
tain of freshnesss and delight, at ,
which the soul must needs drink to j
gather strength for the heat arid j
burthen of the outside battle. )
The Faix Races.—The New York j
Spirit of the Times, in speaking of
the Baltimore Full Races, says that !
a splendid chance for sport and en
joyment lias been provided by the
club ; and everything about the city
of Baltimore is so pleasant, the peo
ple are so courteous and ardent, and
the ladies so numerous, beautiful,
graceful and gracious, that a grand
time is sure to prevail and joy reign
uncoil lined.
Quito sweet, all that.
A new fashion of long pointed col
lars prevails in a section of the oil
regions, and “all the hoys” wear
them. A local chronicler reports j
that "one of these chaps steppe 1 on j
his collar yesterday and tripped him
self up, and was only able to navi
gate after a friend had unbuttoned
his collar and inverted it, though lie
will have to he fed with a step-lad.ler
andshovcl until the fashion changes.”

i “KoTnoinber Not the Sins of My Youth.*’
j OonW I recall the year* that now are flown,
For evermore:
Revive my early vimous—long o'ert brown —
Ami hope restore:
How blest it were to mould my life anew,
: And all my broken vows of youth renew 1
Oh were I once again but tree to choose
As in past days,
llow oft the sun-lit path I would refuse
For sterner ways!
Content to turn aside from ev’rv road
Save that which kept me in the smile of God.
i But vain the dream : the strife is o’er with
me:
. j Dark days remain :
I could not trust my heart if I were free
To choose again:
The dazzling morning might again deceive,
! Life be mis-spent, and age he left to grieve.
| I would not, if I could, recall the years
That now are tied:
riieir cares and pleasures, labors, hopes,
and fears,
For me are dead :
I ask hut mercy for the weary past,
And grace to guide me gently home at last.

Stopping a Kp.wspapek.—One of our
exchanges has the following allegory,
which we commend to the careful consid
eration of those gentlemen, who, the 1110-
menl they see. anything which displeases
them in the columns of the local journal,
rush to the printing ofTice and cry out
"stop my paper." It is certainly a new
song upon an old subject.
“A certain man hit his toe against a peb
j hie and fell headlong to the ground. He
j was vexed, and under the influence of
j anger and self-sufficiency he kicked the
j earth right saucily. With iniperturltahle
j gravity lie looked to sec the earth dissolve 1
| itself ami com? to naught. But the caith I
| remained and only his pool 1 foot was in- ■
j jured in the encounter. This is the way J
of man. An article in a newspaperpouch
es him In a tender spot, and forthwith lie I
sends to stop his paper. With great cum-1
placency he looks to see the crash, when j
lie finds he only hit his toe against a j
world that doe* not perceptibly feel the 1
I shock, mid Injures no one but himself."
Apathy. —Says the Food Journal :
A man will care for everything be
! fore lie looks to the air he breathes,
the water he drinks, or to those ev
idences of unsanitary conditions
which are the sure forerunners ofj
1 ill health, incapacity for work, and
eventual povcrly. No force short 1
|of a plague can reuse his attention !
to these matters. Even cholera and I
I small pox have required the weight I
jof central authority to force upon !
vestries and ether local bodies tho -
